Trenwyth
will be happy to provide a free acoustical analysis for your
application. Acoustics vary with such dynamics as
room size, tile vs. carpet, drapery vs. window blinds or
padded vs.
wooden seating. The approach to our analysis depends if
you’re
trying to dampen sound within the room or are trying
to block sound from an adjacent area. Call Trenwyth (1-800-233-1924)
to request an engineered acoustical study!

Sound Wave Absorption: The unique
design of ACOUSTA-WAL sound-absorbing units absorbs sound
waves. An ACOUSTA-WAL
block is a structural
concrete masonry unit that has a closed top and vertical
slots on its face, exposing the inner cavity. Working
much like an
automobile muffler, the closed-end cavities of the different
size units resonate to sound waves of different frequencies,
converting them harmlessly to heat.

Sound Transmission
Control: While ACOUSTA-WAL units absorb unwanted noise
within an area, they also greatly reduce
the transmission
of sound to an adjacent area.

Low Frequency Sound
Absorption: ACOUSTA-WAL units absorb sounds at all frequencies. However,
they are especially
effective for absorbing unwanted sounds at low frequencies
that are
usually
difficult to control.

One-Step Installation: ACOUSTA-WAL
units provide finished load-bearing or non-load-bearing
walls in a single
trade, one-step operation.
You save time and money.

Low
Life-Cycle Costs: Resistant
to mechanical damage, ACOUSTA-WAL sound-absorbing
units provides sound control
for the lifetime
of the building.

ACOUSTA-WAL Type
IVRV (Reinforced) units offer the advantage of open cavities
for vertical reinforcing conduits or pipes. Type
IVRV units are available in 8”, 10” and 12” thicknesses.

ACOUSTA-WAL
Type I units are ideal for absorption of low frequency sound,
such as power plants and waste water treatment plants.
Type I units have narrow straight slots and empty cavities
and are available in 4” and 6” thicknesses.

ACOUSTA-WAL
Type IRF (Reinforced) units are available in 8”,
10” and 12” thicknesses.
